Quick Summary
A variable speed petrol rear roller lawnmower for users who want a clean cut, strong collection, and a striped finish with practical day to day handling.
What This Product Is Used For
The Hayter Harrier 48 petrol lawnmower is used for cutting and collecting grass while creating a classic rear roller lawn finish.
